Porky Pie here-- I just had da most horrible awful week ever!! First my momma tells me on Monday dat she is going to be very busy and dat I need to be a good boy. Den Tuesday her and daddy are gone all day doing somefing about a house. When dey finally come home she tells me she missed me. Dat made me feel a little better. Den Wednesday morning I wake up to her carrying me into my hoogwandma's room. Den she leaves!!! And she doesn't come back till Friday night (yestaday)!! I spended all dose days crying and helping Bandit round up da baby dog Jade. I did get to talk to my momma on da phone ebery night, but I missed our cuddle time.
Den today I heard her and my hoogwandma talking about what she is gonna do dis summer. Since she is watching a four year old little boy four days a week she was worried about what to do wif me. She will be gone 10-11 hours a day so leaving me home alone in our new house for that long is NOT an option. She interviewed a lot of people and checked out a doggie daycare. :crazyeyes: I didn't connect wif any of dose people. Momma said she didn't feel comfortable leaving me any of dose places or having them come to our house. So, she decided the "perfect solution" :rolleyes:. I am going to be home wif her on Mondays and Tuesdays, den Tuesday night she dwops me off at gwandma's until Fwiday night when i come back home. One question....dis sounds better den da daycare, but what am i supposed to do at night?! I won't be able to snuggle up in my bed and hear my daddy snore! How will I eber sleep?? :dontknow:
Porky's mom here- I tried so hard to find someone I felt comfortable with to watch Porky during the day while I am gone watching Jay. Everyone I interviewed seemed like they didn't care about his special dietary needs or like they thought I was just nutty for having a list of stuff he can't eat. None of them seemed to get the magnitude of his tummy problems. Luckilly we haven't had a flare up since December, but he is acting kinda puny so I think an episode may be coming again. Maybe I'm just too picky, but if I don't feel like they would treat my baby to my standards, I just can't leave him with them. The doggie daycare was a joke! All the dogs were running around barking and biting each other, some were playing, others weren't. :crazyeyes:
The only solution I could come up with was to have my mom take Porky three days a week through the summer. I HATE leaving Porky for that long, but don't know what else to do. I was crying about it last night which is silly, but I miss my little guy when he's not around.
I just hope Porky will be okay with his new schedule. I'm trying to keep his stress at a minimum to control his tummy issues. I know my mom will take great care of him and he will be happy to play with Bandit, but I can't help feeling guilty. Originally, I had a friend, who Porky loves, that was going to watch him this summer. Unfortunately, it didn't work out. So hopefully this summer will go by really fast!!
Does Jay have a dog in their house hold sometimes dogs are great around childern with problems depends on the child if he would accidently be too rough with Porky. They have Therapy dogs working around childeren all the time when Gizmo my Papillon was a Therapy dog the only place they advised me not to take her was around childern that were mentaly challanged Gizmo was only 7 # far too little to be around them.That may be a option you may have not thought of???
